She stood stunned by the horror of what she saw—and what a horror it was!
She saw a scene not with her eyes, but with the depths of her heart
A heart torn by a hundred daggers,
With tears trapped in her eyes,
With memories rushing through her mind,
With beautiful moments in the embrace of a happy family,
With vast hopes for righteous children who would be the apple of her eye.
But her children are gone... leaving behind only beautiful memories!
- Yahya, that little genius who soared with his imagination among the stars.
- Rakan, whose kind heart was like a morning breeze.
- Ruslan, the little knight who fought every hardship.
- Rivan, whose laughter was like the sun, melting away all worldly sorrows.
- Sayden, Jibran, and Eve—pieces of her soul, their innocence filling the home with joy.
Now... a deadly silence has taken their place.
Yet, she stands firm!
Despite all this darkness, there is still a spark of determination in her eyes.
She will continue her path—not because the pain has vanished, but because her unwavering faith in her Lord is her guiding light to His pleasure.
Her certainty that her children are a treasure stored for her with Allah gives her patience and hope:
*She wanted them for a purpose, but Allah wanted them for a greater one.*
*She wanted them as a deferred trade with Allah, but He chose to make it immediate.*
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"When a child of a servant (of Allah) dies, Allah says to His angels: 'Have you taken the soul of My servant’s child?' They reply: 'Yes.' He asks: 'Have you taken the fruit of their heart?' They say: 'Yes.' Then He asks: 'What did My servant say?' They reply: 'They praised You and said, "To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return."' Allah then says: 'Build a house for My servant in Paradise and name it the House of Praise.'"
(Sunan at-Tirmidhi 1021, authenticated by Al-Albani)
"To Allah belongs what He takes, and to Him belongs what He gives, and everything with Him has a set term."
